Day: September 11, 2003

A small update to the minigr skin for AmphetaDesk. Changed a link, and added 1/2 a line of code, which is really pure hackery, and will be fixed up properly when the next version comes out. (Right Morbus?)

As for my request about IM clients, I’ve been told to look at Proteus and Miranda. (Proteus is for Mac OS X, and Miranda is for Windows.)

I should have mentioned this the other day, in the same place I mentioned TexEdit. There’s an app called Text Reader. What does it do? Well, you open a text file, and it can read it aloud, or save it to an AIFF file. (Saving to an MP3 might happen in the future.) There’s AppleScript ways to do similar things, but this is a bit easier for most people.

Now, onto what I need. I need a command line application that can convert AIFF files to MP3 files, without the presence of QuickTime Pro. I’m sure there’s some open-source app out there that’ll do this and will compile on OS X right? If you know, please let me know.
